title: [Thalamic fractures of the calcaneus. Value of computed x-ray tomography in therapeutic decisions].
abstract: The authors have studied 35 fractures of the calcaneal thalamus and compared the information provided by plain radiology and CT scans of the calcaneal tuberosity, especially those connected with the condition of the posterior subtalar joint. In 8 cases out of 35, the study of the CT sections yielded information that allowed changing the indications for treatment. The authors emphasize the quality of the data obtained, which makes it possible to justify a functional treatment or to establish a preoperative schedule.
